Just in case you forgot that nothing lasts forever, ArenaNet wanted to remind you about that fact with the latest Guild Wars 2 trailer. The teaser below is for the upcoming Living World update, "Escape from Lion's Arch" coming on February 18.

Aetherblade airships, dirigibles of death piloted by the dreaded pirates who now serve Scarlet, loom over the city like birds of prey. On the ground, the cruel serpentine krait and subterranean dredge hunt for prey and terrorize its citizens. In one grim moment in the video, the famed nautical architecture of the city burns as innocents try to flee the devastation.

Lion’s Arch is a thriving city familiar to any Guild Wars 2 player, home to in-game traders and vendors as well as the asura gates that lead to the far corners of Tyria and beyond. The city has served as the focus for in-game holidays and events including Halloween and Wintersday, and has been featured extensively in living world releases such as “Sky Pirates of Tyria” and “Cutthroat Politics.” Lion’s Arch played an important part in the original Guild Wars.

The next chapter in the Living World series will be available to all players on February 18. As always, you can find out more about the game itself at the Guild Wars 2 website.
